Re: Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire - TV Adaption)

Since they won't be saying which role he'll play until SDCC, what are your guesses? I can't really think of anything right now (just got up from bed), since the only cast I've been anticipating for next season was the Red Viper.

Re: Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire - TV Adaption)

I'm quessing: Doran Martell - make-up artists will do the job for his skin, and while those who read ASoIaF know, without spoilers, how long we will see Oberyn I'm quessing W&B will continue Martell stuff <so that ppl wouldn't have problems with knowing who's who> and we will see Doran in the latter half of season 4.

@ xi0, Aeron wasn't shown already in season 2?

Hmmm, maybe. It sort of fits, but him being cast for next season makes me wonder if things are going to be radically changed from the canon. There's the fear that they might condense Doran and Oberyn into one person. And while I'm not sure if that's likely, I'm not sure. I guess him being Doran is way more likely than him being a Greyjoy...but the timelines are getting muddled here. And it's only going to get worse in season 5.

No, there was that random Drowned Priest who baptized Theon, but he was never named. Just an extra I guess.

Re: Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire - TV Adaption)

@xi0, I don't think they will mix Oberyn and Doran into one person, hell no <it seems that Doran's plot after all that shit which will happen in season 4 - without spoilers - is quite important to the story, so no no>. If anything, Oberyn's bastard daughters, Sand Snakes, will be limited

Aside from that, next season will also include some parts from AFfC and ADwD, there's Martell introduction through Oberyn so I will give it to Doran - that makes sense for me that creators would put it that way so ppl who only watch tv series wouldn't be put off-track due to new ppl appearing.

IF Gatiss will be Mace Tyrell, I don't think I will be happy at the beginning..

Who else is there to play? we know that this season must include tywin, obeyrn and mace for the you know what, I suppose the queen of thorns could take Mace's role in the story in season 4 but other that that I have no idea who was introduced in the second half of book 3.

Re: Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire - TV Adaption)

^ No way they can condense the red viper with Doran, I mean they let the Reeds stay two people and they are just as important, so they wont let the martells be one person.

That's not the same. Doran being in the show necessitates an entirely new setting, supporting characters and filming location and sets.

It was just some random speculation on Westeros.org, that was mentioned before they announced Oberyn was cast. So that changes things,

Again, they are minor characters. If they aren't condensed I'll be very surprised. The Sand Snakes are mostly background characters, both literally and figuratively. They seem like they'll be quite important in the next books though.

Brown Ben Plumm maybe?

If racebaiters are upset about the Yunkish slaves all being swarthy and worshipping the White Devil Dany, or Oberyn being too white, there's no way Brown Ben Plumm could be played by Gatiss. That and it being a pretty minor character that disappears for a time.
